Why is my mom so over protective of me?
She just cares a lot about you and doesn't want to see you get hurt. You may see this as annoying, and she may or may not be going overboard, but at least you know that she cares!
I'm 18 and my mom is over protective?
Alright so I'm 18 and a freshman in college and I was at my boyfriends house just watching a movie when we were done with our classes and his parents weren't home. Well my dad is selling the parents house insurance and was there to take pictures with my mom and they noticed my car and my mom called me up freaking out that I was obviously alone with my boyfriend. And by the way we have been dating for almost 15 months now. Okay so I was like wtf and I stayed and finished the movie and went home and my mom was like 'you know that was a hint to come home' and I said sorry I was finishing the movie I started. and she was going on how we both have finals next week and hinting at how she is afraid I'm going to have sex or even get raped by my boyfriend! I'm not a virgin and she doesn't know that but I'm not a whore I've been dating him and I care about him and she is just like i know where you stand on certain things but I don't know if he knows. why is my mom acting like this?! she rarely does but she freaks out for no reason when I have 3 older brothers-2 live at home the youngest is 21 and he does horrible things and she doesn't give two sh*ts about that.
I am 18 and my mom is STILL over protective?
So my mom has always been way too over protective. I am now 18 and graduated from high school and I am in beauty school. Today while I was at work I got a text from at&t family map telling me my phone is now being tracked... My mom pays for my phone. My mom never lets me stay out late and come home so I always just say I am staying the night with a friend and go out and do stuff with my friends. Now I cant even do that because she will be tracking me! I was hoping my mom would lighten up now that I am graduated but she really hasnt... obviously! And I really cant handle it anymore. She is so in my business that she will go look at my friends facebooks from class and be like "I saw that girl you went to the mall with on fb. She looks like she party's a lot..." Like trying to hint that she doesn't want me hanging out with her. Sometimes I will say something like, I am going to hang out with a friend for a bit at 8pm and she will be like Thats getting late... That isnt even late!!! I cant handle her treating me like this anymore. I go to school tues-sat 8 am-4pm and I really dont have enough time to work enough to be able to afford to move out (without being exhausted.) I am going to get my own phone plan soon so she cant track my phone but I feel like she will just put a tracker on my car! I need help... Advice please.
Why is my mom so overprotective?
When I was a toddler/grade schooler, my mom didn't let me have Barbie dolls or any other dolls that have an impossible body image. She said that it encouraged little 4 year old girls to think they need to look that way to be pretty. I'm a 15 year old from western Canada and my mom still won't allow Instagram or anything because there are teen girls who make provocative music videos and she doesn't like social media models either. She restricts me from attending lots of parties, but my 13 year old brother is allowed. Because my mom says he's a boy.
My mom is overprotective?
Hmmm yeah it sounds like she's pretty overprotective. How old are you? I'm guessing you're in your teens. My mom was really overprotective too. It can really suck. It sometimes felt like she was living my life for me, making all my decisions. In my opinion, the sleepover thing is because she's afraid something might happen to you. Maybe she feels uneasy because she doesn't know your friend or your friend's mom. Having an overprotective mom can be so very tough. I think the best way you can approach this is to sit down with her and have a talk. Be reasonable and mature and talk about a few of these things that are most important to you. Don't bring everything up. She'll be more likely to compromise if you only put a few things on the table (maybe sleeping over, music on your Ipod, and clothes?). Don't raise your voice even if she starts to piss you off. Show her that you're not a little girl anymore and you deserve to have some of these privileges. And if worse comes to worse, follow her rules and maintain a positive relationship with her. When you move out, you can do anything you want. Sometimes I worry about people with overprotective parents, because they sometimes rebel and start doing drugs or other reckless behavior. After being sheltered for so long, some people go all out. Just don't do that. You'll get through it girly. I hope you can figure it out! =]
Why is my mom so overprotective of me?
Ooh girl, how I feel your pain. I definitely know what you're going through feels like - the unfairness of seeing other kids your age getting to do things that you're not allowed to do, how unreasonable parents seem (or are, in some cases - not just seem). I lived with my dad during middle/high school - and he was a really shitty dad; overprotective, negligent, and a drunk, and the decisions he made for me were never fair, but there were some things that made a big difference, especially in the freedom that I "earned". With your mother, I suspect it might be a little different. Maybe she made a lot of mistakes when she was your age, and she sees a lot more of herself in you than your sister. Try talking to her, not accusingly or even about you at all, but ask her about herself when she was your age. Tell her about where you are in your life, if she's interested, and explain what kind of friends you're making and if there are any guys you like. If you're comfortable with this, maybe you could invite some new friends over to hang out at your house, just so she sees them once and knows their names and faces - trust me, that makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, when it comes to her rules - the bottom line is this: if she provides for you, and provides for you WELL, then she is entitled. In order to break out of that, you need to gain some of your own independence. The best way to do this is to get a job and start making your own money. If you already have a job, see if you can pick up some more hours, or start paying your own cell phone bill (sucks, but it's one less way for you to depend on her). It boils down to how much or how little you depend on her. Then, if you keep out of trouble (or at least never let her find out about it), keep your grades up, and don't give her an excuse to punish you, she will eventually loosen her grip. I swear.

Why am I so over-protective of my mother?
I'm Clark, and I'm 12, my parents were never married, and for as far as I can remember they have both been apart i still see both of them though. So 7 years ago my mom introduced me to this man (later husband) and I was really excited. So about 1 year later they get married, we move in to his house and that's when the abusive relationship starts (shoving my pregnant mom down the stairs, throwing tires at her, ect.) She had problems as a kid so she doesn't really know what a normal life is. So 7 years later we've moved out, but she has not gotten divorced, and I have a aching rage to kill that man. We were ice skating last week , and this guy (good skater) started giving my mom some "pointers" but the instant I saw him I disliked him, and he was giving off a predatory vibe, apparently noticed only by me. They were chatting the entire time after that and mom did no skating with me anymore. That guy was trying to hook up with her, I just know it! Stuff didn't work out between them once she learned about his home situation, but still that was close. I got really territorial and jealous over my mom when he was talking to her. This week one of her newer friends, (obviously likes her, she knows it too) came over while I was downstairs, they watched two movies and didn't even bother to ask me to join them, and when I came upstairs she was asleep with her head on his lap! Im She thinks she was giving me alone time and doesnt understand why I'm upset, and gets mad at me. Please help me
Why is my mum so overprotective?
“Overprotective parents generally want to protect their children from harm, from hurt and pain, from unhappiness, bad experiences and rejection, from hurt feelings, failure and disappointments.”Of course, it is good to know that your mother wants to protect you, but the consequences can be bad.“Overprotective parents often prevent their children from trying new activities such as dicovering the joy of climbing and safe risk taking at adventurous play grounds. Many sporting activities are discouraged, along with social activities which would include opportunites for gaining social competence. “Overprotective Parents - Is This Your Parenting Style?
Why are parents so over protective?
Because a child is (sometimes) something you create and then something you care for and help build. It is 100% normal to be protective of something or someone you care for. This is also the case for inanimate objects. I don’t want to compare a child to a thing but I know plenty of people who treat their cars like children…. or pets like children!But a child is a little more significant.Of course you asked why they’re over protective and that’s a different thing altogether. My mom is from Honduras and it’s not very safe there. A lot of violence and kidnappings so even though she moved to the US she was still wary about us being outside alone or out with friends.For some it’s religion. Or education or… whatever. I know that when I finally have a kid I will probably be worried about outside forces swaying them against my beliefs (I don’t want them to end up some greedy capitalist).
